Post CommentAnother night of cranking out songs. Or rather, song foundations. Here's a glimpse thereof, warts and all.

Posted project update #5First Eight; Overtired Ramblings
Post CommentTwelve hour work day, and "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" on the commute home for inspiration. Finished 8th preliminary song foundation tonight. Photos show the instruments I've been playing and the exposed guts of the PC I'm recording on. Please note - a fully funded campaign will pay for new recording hardware; it will not break my heart to see this tower go. Oh, and the guts are exposed to let in the nice winter breeze. A lesser-known CPU coolant. Ha... Well. There you have it. And finally, talked to Jerome about what I'm calling a drum recording extravaganza, possibly as early as next week. Hooray!

Posted project update #4Cello Quartet in Poland, Spain, Czech Republic
Post CommentAfter recording four new tracks tonight, I came across this dramatic video which uses my recent cello music. Have a look! This music was recently used as the audio backdrop for an event at Prague Castle, too. One soundfont can travel quite far, apparently! Hopefully, I'll have a chance to record real violin and cello on Nantucket Sound.

Posted project update #3Every Song Begins with a Sketch
Post CommentOne of the best parts of writing songs is the sketching phase. Today, I had a chance to sketch a few tracks in Audacity. And when these big blue winter clouds allowed, the sun broke through brightly, making the studio feel a little less cold. Here are a few seconds of a really basic melody that will become one of the sixteen songs on Nantucket Sound.

Posted project update #1Allegro!
Post CommentThanks to those who have helped lift this project into existence! Here's an instrumental "song of the day" to serve as theme music for eating Cocoa Puffs: Allegro. And the cover art is a pastel drawing I made while on vacation a while back on Martha's Vineyard. Notice the futile efforts of badness to darken the light of awesomeness.
